Default '93 Headlights

Have a question guys...
On the '93 that I just bought a couple months ago....the headlights work fine....
But, when I put them up or down...I can hear the motors running a little while after they are flipped either up or down. All the linkage and motors look new. Is something out of adjustment? Or is this the way they work?

Sounds like the nylon bushings are going out. This allows the motor to spin a little extra. Do a search on this and you'll find a ton of info.

mine flipped too. THe thread I pointed to has the bushing fix in it. I've got a word document I can email you that I used the first time I replaced my bushings. btw, mines a 93 and did the clunk-clunk-clunk thing for atleast 5 seconds after turning the headlights on or off. It was the bushings (when I opened it up, it looked like crack cocain inside the gears )

I did pick up a shortcut after following the instructions I have though. Made life a lot easier.
